Moles, Andrés2022-03-2920150037-802Xhttps://doi.org/10.5840/soctheorpract201541435https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14018/13485In this article I argue that anti-perfectionist liberals can accept nudging in certain areas: in particular, they can accept nudges aimed at helping people to discharge their nonenforceable duties, and to secure personal autonomy. I claim that nudging is not disrespectful since it does not involve a comparative negative judgment on people’s ability to pursue their plans, and that the judgments that motivate nudging are compatible with treating citizens as free and equal. I also claim that despite being sometimes manipu- lative, nudging is easy to resist and so it can be employed to pursue legitimate goals.engPaternalismLiberalismDesireOpportunistic behaviorChoice architectureJudgmentLibertarianismMoralityInjunctionsCigarette smokingJournal articlehttps://www.pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf/purchase?openform&fp=soctheorpract&id=soctheorpract_2015_0041_0004_0644_0667
